Early-Fatherhood in White City, Jabavu, Soweto: a Time-Bound, Contextual Construct Naledi Selebano and Grace Khunou* Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] 24 The Open Family Studies Journal, 2014, 6, (Suppl 1: M3) 24-30 Open Access Early-Fatherhood in White City, Jabavu, Soweto: A Time-Bound, Contextual Construct Naledi Selebano and Grace Khunou* University of Johannesburg, Kingsway and University Rds, Auckland Park, South Africa Abstract: While young mothers have enjoyed the interests of researchers and policy makers, young fathers’ experiences have only been examined recently. Through a thematic content analysis of interviews with six black young fathers from White City, Jabavu in Soweto, this article argues that early fatherhood should be understood through an examination of how it is lived in the social, political, cultural and economic contexts of particular communities. The data from this study indicate that there are strong ties between the young men’s experiences and the overall community values, history and culture where they experience fatherhood. The article concludes that for appropriate policies and strategies to be implemented where young fathers are concerned, more context specific research should be conducted. Keywords: Early fatherhood, socio-economic context, White City Jabavu, young fathers’ experiences. INTRODUCTION presents contemporary South Africa with many challenges such as a high unemployment rate among black people. When public discourse and research refer to teenage Recent statistics show that the unemployment rate stands at pregnancy and early-parenthood, the dialogue typically 35.6% for black people, 22.3% for coloureds, and 11.7% for focuses on young women [1]. The South African Department Indians and Asians and only at 5.9% for white people [7]. of Education’s most recent analysis of teenage pregnancy examined teenage fathers and their attitudes towards early Socio-economic and political factors play a significant fatherhood [2]. The report indicates that the risk factors role in informing our understanding of fatherhood. In a associated with teenage pregnancy for young women are developing country such as South Africa, the social and similarly applicable to young men [2]. Findings [3] indicate economic elements are important to consider when defining the significant gap posed by the lack of research on young fatherhood [8]. Thus, the socio-historical context in which fathers as they face many negative educational, financial, the definition is provided should be considered and should social, health and other developmental consequences. The include issues of class, race and sexual orientation [9]. Some high teenage pregnancy rate and the high number of illegal cultures allow fathers to be active in the day to day rearing of abortions done out of fear by young girls clearly indicate that their children while others allow them to be passive and more interventions must take place for young men [4]. Such sometimes, absent. For example, the migrant labour system interventions will allow for more support from young men that was prevalent in apartheid South Africa compelled men facing the possibility of early-fatherhood. to leave their homes to work in the mines [5]. Consequently, father’s absence is acceptable in modern day South Africa. Interventions for young fathers will also begin to address Another legacy of the migrant labour system is defining the negative experiences [5] associated with early- fatherhood predominantly as an act of providing financial fatherhood. Even though this negativity led to a focus on support to the children [2]. Moreover, research demonstrates early-fatherhood depression, stress, dependency and reckless that compared to other groups, blacks are much more likely behaviour, a need also exists to look into the resilience that to be poorer and have pitiable access to healthcare, some of the young, poor fathers present. Scholars [5] also educational and psychosocial resources [10, 11]. found that some of the young men in their study had strong social networks but needed further societal support. By Again, ‘fatherhood’ has undergone a variety of changes contributing financially to the well-being of their children, throughout South African history. During pre-colonial times, young fathers find an affirmation of the self [5]. fathers were seen mainly as protectors and providers [12]. In these early contexts families and society in general feared Issues of affirmation of the self for black men in South and respected the father as the ultimate symbol of power [6].

TOPOGRAPHY contributes significantly to the sense of place, the genius loci, in a region of low hills and linear ridges. Gatsrand, 30 Km to the South; Suikerbosrand, 30 Km to the South East; the Klipriviersberg immediately to the South. In the foreground are the parallel East- West scarps and residue hills of the area magically named the Witwatersrand, looking northwards across a panorama of rolling country and gently sloping valleys to the Magaliesberg horizon – all part of the multiple Johannesburg immersion.

(Source: Office of Surveyor General, Cape Town, surveyed in 1939) The great plains of the continental plateau enters the town-lands: the Houghton- Saxonwold plain north of the ridges and Doornfontein to Turffontein plain occupying the space between the Braamfontein high ground and the Klipriviersberg. The spaciousness – a word used by the visiting geographer JHG Lebon (1952:An Introduction to Human Geography) – of the landscape means that Johannesburg, unlike Durban and Cape Town can expand in almost any direction but after a century plus decades of urban growth, it is our delectable ridges that remain repositories of ancientness.
